The cleaner the source water, the easier it is to treat, and the lower the expense of treatment.
Elks Run Watershed Group is collaborating with partners to help restore Elks Run and protect the drinking water supply of Harpers Ferry and Bolivar. Partners include the Harpers Ferry Water Commission, Harpers Ferry Merchant Association, West Virginia Rivers Coalition, the WV Department of Environmental Protection, WV Conservation Agency, Region 9 Planning and Development Council, Potomac Valley Audubon Society, The Downstream Project — who maintains this website — and others.
The key to restoring and protecting Elks Run is people. Homeowners, farmers, and businesses all play a part. In these pages, learn how you can help.
Working Together
Protecting Elks Run Takes A Community.
